The following starter questions are for students targeting grades 7-9. Questions are taken from various exam boards and include solutions. Encourages students to think and apply their skills in different contexts. Entire PowerPoint includes over 50 questions in the following categories: Coordinate Geometry - Circles Geometric Problems and Proof Algebraic Proof Trigonometry Inequalities Functions Coordinate Geometry – Lines & Curves Sequences Algebraic Problems – including ratio Indices and Surds Statistics Extra

The lesson looks at the differences between a linear and quadratic sequences graphically and focusing on finite differences, thus leading to the nth term. The lesson identifies two methods for finding the nth term of a quadratic sequence with multiple questions in different contexts. Questions also have students transferring skills from other topics such as area, solving equations, simultaneous equations, etc. This lesson can also be used with AQA Further Maths students as the PowerPoint ens with limiting value of a sequence.
